Under pressure from Israel’s top court to improve conditions at a facility notorious for mistreating Palestinians seized in Gaza, the military transferred hundreds of detainees to newly opened camps.

But abuses at these camps were just as bad, according to Israeli human rights organizations that interviewed dozens of current and former detainees and are now asking the same court to force the military to fix the problem once and for all.

What the detainees’ testimonies show, rights groups say, is that instead of correcting alleged abuses against Palestinians held without charge or trial — including beatings, excessive handcuffing, and poor diet and health care – Israel’s military just shifted where they take place.

    Looks like they’re following the American way.

    If you can’t abuse them in your country, it’s easy to find a Gitmo, or an Abu Ghraib, or a CECOT. Where there’s a will to violate people’s human rights, there’s a way, because our species is the worst and programmed to destroy itself.
